Abstract: This information processing system includes: a controller including an operation element, a restriction member, a resistance section using a magnetorheological fluid whose viscosity changes with an applied-magnetic-field intensity and which serves as a resistance corresponding to the viscosity when the position of the operation element is displaced, and a magnetic field generation section to provide the magnetic field; and a circuit capable of controlling the magnetic field generation section. In a first state, a movable area of a position of the operation element is restricted to a basic movable area. In a second state, the magnetic field generation section is controlled so that the viscosity becomes a first viscosity, when the operation element is in a first area, and so that the viscosity becomes a second viscosity when the operation element is in a second area.

Abstract: An example supporting device supports two game controllers. The supporting device includes a support section and a main section connected to the support section. The support section includes a first slide member and a second slide member. The first slide member is provided in an area of the support section toward a first side in a predetermined direction, and the second slide member is provided in an area toward a second side. The slide members are capable of slidably engaging with rail members of the respective game controllers in a predetermined slide direction. The first slide member includes a first terminal provided on a first opposing surface. The second slide member includes a second terminal provided on a second opposing surface. The main section includes a first grip portion for being gripped by a user, and a second grip portion for being gripped by the user.

Abstract: An example game controller includes a spherical housing, a vibrator, an inertia sensor, an operation device, and a transmitter. The vibrator is inside the spherical housing and configured to generate a vibration to vibrate the spherical housing. The inertia sensor is at a position inside the spherical housing such that a distance from a center of the spherical housing to the inertial sensor is shorter than a distance from the center of the spherical housing to the vibrator. The operation section has an operation surface. The operation surface is capable of being depressed and is at the spherical housing on an opposite side from the vibrator with respect to the center of the spherical housing. The transmitter configured to transmit, to outside, information regarding an operation on the operation section and information output from the inertia sensor.

Abstract: Based on first data transmitted from a game controller, a game apparatus executes game processing for catching a predetermined game character and transmits, to the game controller, second data corresponding to the game character as a target to be caught. Based on the transmitted second data, the game controller outputs a sound corresponding to the caught game character.
